Who Shall Separate Us From Christ?

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” – Romans 8:35

Hi, friends! Thank you so much for reading and sharing in my blog experience! I appreciate you!!

There are a lot of things in this world vying for our devotion. Careers. Family. Relationships. Sin. But, our true devotion should rest with God. One of my favorite passages of scripture is Romans chapter 8. In verse 35, Paul writes, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”

The answer for me is: Nothing will separate me from the love of Christ. Nothing and no one. What about you?

It doesn’t matter what I face. It doesn’t matter what internal or external battles I fight. Nothing will separate me from Christ. There’s too much at stake. Eternity is at stake. The home and hope of my soul is at stake.

So, “I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).

And that is from the depths of my soul.

Nothing.

“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37)
